"Megan drop BACK!" I heard my coach scold me. I was up by Anna, by the goal we were scoring on. Once the ball got back to Anna and I, Anna took it up field and I followed down with her through the center. I could hear coach yelling at me to head back but was I planning on listening? Nope! Once Anna passed it to me, she positioned herself in the perfect scoring spot. I passed it to her, but was intercepted by the other team. Anna and I booked it twords our side of the field. Anna would wait slightly higher up and I'd pass it to her, then start the following up field all over. The other team was lucky to miss their goal shot, so it was a goal kick. Anna and I didn't plan this. At all.. It didn't pop into our heads! Now that I think about it, offsides and corner kicks didn't cross our minds either. Anna moved all the way to the left and I put the ball on the right corner of the goal box. I kicked it as hard as I could, but despite the ball cutting short Anna quickly took it into her control. Coach didn't like out idea as we were constantly scolded.

We were JUST there. Anna was making her way down to pass to me. Once she did, she positioned herself to the shot spot. Before I could pass it, the other team's defender rammed into me, tackling me to the ground. Anna rushed over. "Megan! Are you okay?!" Anna panicked while everyone else took a knee as the opposing coach addressed his player. "Yeah, I'm fine. See perfe-." I tried standing up, but fell back down.  Anna helped me up and took me over to the bench. At the time Anna was also subbed out as well as myself.

"What were you both thinking?!" Coach shouted, throwng his white board with the field set up onto the grass. "There's a reason you both were put where you are." He was pacing back and forth infront of us.

Coach let out a sigh of defeat. Anna and I were about to go back in. "If you girls really want to be in the same spot, where would you prefer to be?" Coach asked. Anna's face lit up. She gave me a huge grin. "Midfield!" We both said in unison.

This was alot better! Anna and I would snag the ball from defense and take it to the goal. The plan was the same, but with different positions on the field. My ankle was slightly better from the fall so I could somewhat run. Anna rushed over to the goal post as our offense was scattered around ready to shoot the ball if anything went wrong (they weren't aware of the plan). I passed it to Anna, who got it stolen from her faster than she could react.

It's half time, and coach is discussing a new plan. "Megan and Anna, you guys are in charge of goalscoring. Offense you are their backup. Defense, your position is self explanatory as well as goalie." Coach stated, picking up the white board. "Here, Megan and Anna have a plan to get down the field." Coach drew 2 dots with arrows going up the field. "And offense you will be surrounding the area." Coach drew 3 dots, spread out by the goal we're scoring on. Once half was over, we were back into the game.

"Anna, I'll pass it before you get to the spot." I whispered to Anna before going over to my side.

I did what I said I would. I dribbled down the center and passed it to Anna while she was running to the spot. It actually was key to the plan, since she stopped the ball for a moment and the  shot it. The team cheered for Anna, giving her high-fives and all. Coach was especially proud.

The game was 2-0, we won of course.

Once we got back home, I got I to the group chat to find the script of the speech I had to read. I wouldn't read it if I had a choice believe me!

It looked pretty good. It was called You Have Been Found and it focused on: if nobody was around to hear, did you say anything at all? Pretty interesting, just needed school permission.
                             ~~~
"So, you girls want to say this, infront of the whole school?" Mrs Shawly asked, scanning over the note. "Megan's reading, but yeah." Anna responded. "I'd love to give you guys the ability to do this, but it's not in my power. It's great you're keeping Jack's memory alive but, I can't assure you Mrs Freeguson would allow it.." Mrs Shawly said, handing back the speech.

I'd asked all my teachers, all responded the same. Eventually at the end of the day Anna and I stopped by the office to speak with Mrs Freeguson.

"Ah, yes?" I heard from an area in the back of the main office. "Yeah. We have something we'd like to announce to the whole school. Like an assembly." Anna smiled, handing the speech over. As Mrs Freeguson scanned it over, I exchanged a worried glance with Anna. What if we could never do this? Would we have to do it secretly after school?

"It's... A rather different request..." She responded, passing back the speech. "I get the message being sent, but I just feel that's not the right way to send it.." Mrs Freeguson sighed. "Now I'll see you both tomorrow."
                             ~~~
Anna and I (for the 100th time) had a plan. That night we printed a copy of the speech for everyone in the group. The plan was to have each person preform it in each of their classes. Let's face it, we aren't getting an assembly anytime soon.

Skylar, being super socially awkward, hated this idea.

"Megan this isn't fair! We all agreed you'd say it for all of us." Skylar complained, grabbing my book stack for me and bringing it to my seat. "You think I like the idea?! I wasn't given a say in who said it! And we aren't getting an assembly anytime soon." I plopped my bag down on my chair while Skylar put my stuff on my desk. "Why don't we go around and do presentations for classes? Like all if us together?" Skylar suggested as she strutted out of the classroom. "That's not such a bad idea.." I liked that idea. "You know who's where right now right? And also we're all working on this presentation during recess maybe." I stated. "I know where Owen and James are, and I bet you know where your girlfriend is at all times.." Skylar smirked, booking it down the stairs. "Uh NO!" I shouted.

I was told by a teacher not to shout but that's the last of my worries.

I told Anna about the new idea and she seemed cool with it. We had yet to decide what classes to present in, but we'll let Mrs Freeguson decide that. Yeah sadly we still need approval.

Once the day was over, Anna spent time on her homework while I wandered around the forest out back.

One thing I loved about the forest was, well we had it to ourselves!

After a short time there, I stopped at the skatepark to ride my scooter for a little while.

Once I got back home to Anna's, while she was eating dinner I changed into pajamas and read Wattpad till Anna was ready for bed.

"Oh c'mon Megan, you can't eat nothing.." Anna pouted, shoving the bowl of soup into my face. "Anna I'm not hungry!" I pushed the bowl away while crossing my arms. "Megan you live here you might as well eat something! And you sound like a child!" Anna whined, taking a spoonful of soup and waved it infront of my face. "Anna everyday you watch me eat lunch. Now I'm tired let's just go to bed. And I am NOT a child. If anyone is a child here it's you!" I pushed the spoon away. Anna, not giving up, jumped onto the bed. This resulted in a mess.

Sometimes  I wonder why Anna does these things...

"ANNA REALLY?!" I shouted, jumping off the bed. While jumping (which was really stupid) Anna let the bowl slip from her hands and land all over me and the bed. Anna burst into laughter while I was concerned about getting 3rd degree burns. "Anna if I go to a hospital because of this I swear.." I muttered. "Oh Megan... You're overreacting! You won't get burned from soup!" Anna smiled, putting the now empty bowl on the dresser.

After taking all the sheets off, piling them into the washer, and explaining what happened to her parents, we took out the tent (along with the obvious phones and portable chargers) out to the forest to spend the night.

"Sorry I tried forcing you to eat the soup.." Anna muttered, taking all the covers. "Anna if we are going to live right now I am gonna need covers." I objected, snatching the covers and gripping them tight. "Well I don't want hypothermia out here either!" Anna pouted, yanking back to covers. I sighed, getting a small laugh from Anna in response. "Maybe we can share the covers..." I smiled calmly, taking the covers from Anna's willing grasp. I turned myself to be facing Anna's back, wrapping my arms around her waist. I draped  blanket over us so we both had some warmth. But let's be real, the heat of my face could help me survive in Antarctica.

"Better?"

"Yeah, better..."

And with that, we fell into our deep sleep.
